In reply to the discussion: Ilhan Omar Deportation Calls Grow From Republicans [View all]lapucelle
(18,369 posts)56. What does the "not independently verified the accuracy of the translation" addendum mean?
From your Minnesota Reformer link (the quotation is Minnesota Reformer's translation of Representative Omar's remarks):
During her recent speech, Omar spoke assertively about her role in American foreign affairs, despite lacking any formal role in foreign policy; she was removed from the House Committee on Foreign Affairs last year by Republicans for what she has said were trumped-up charges of antisemtism.
When I heard that people who call themselves Somalis signed an agreement with Ethiopia, many people reached out to me and said I needed to talk to the U.S. government. They asked, What would the U.S. government do? My answer was that the U.S. government will do what we tell the U.S. government to do. That is the confidence we need to have as Somalis.

How about sending all the Russian operatives in Congress to Russia? They're doing Putin's bidding.

Yeah, I just read that on DU. Why so long for a pushback on the (intentional?) mis-translation?
